Blizzard in the Northwest

Winter seasons has just begun and, on Monday, a vicious storm struck the western states as it starts the holiday break. In Seattle roads were covered with snow and ice causing at least three deaths and tens of thousands people's power went out. Mondays temperatures were in the mid-20s,  wind blowing snow around made it feel colder than that and temperatures are suppose to continue to drop throughout the week.

It is predicted that the blizzard will hit Utah tonight and create heavy snows surrounding the area. Idaho, Utah, and Nevada officials are telling people to stay off roads if possible and are even closing down some highways and schools for preparation. 

Winter storm are very dangerous and people who experience these winter storms need to be prepared for anything. Having the car filled up with a full tank of gas, blankets, boats, and extra warm gear in the car just in case is a smart idea.  There is no way to stop the snow or make it less dangerous, but by being prepared, ready, and smart decisions can help eliminate the damages done.
